Restart to receive invites

Recently a few friends and I have been having issues with invites.
upon us requesting to be invited to a world we must request the invite then restart the game to have the invite show up in the notification. I tend to request from a few people just incase one fails as restarting my game just to see if I have gotten any notifications is rather annoying.

We're actively investigating this issue and hope to have a proper fix implemented in a future update.
In the meantime, as a temporary workaround, you may want to consider disabling IPv6 which has resolved this issue for other users. You can do this by following the process on this site: https://contenthub.streamlabs.com/content-hub/post/how-to-solve-ipv6-issues
If you are using Oculus Quest in standalone you will need to look into disabling it in your router.

Im using star link which only uses IPV6 and im having the same problems. Is there an estimated time that a fix may be coming out?

I’ve just now having this issue, my friends are not seeing my request to invite, or invite requests at all! Same with friend requests, and it’s not just me ‘my partner and close friend are experiencing the same issues

I've just recently gotten the same problem as well, it's frustrated me to the point where I want to break something, but I'm keeping it together as much as possible. I'm doing the process of the site as we speak, but no luck so far

This is
still
an issue up to this day. I can't get notifications, including invites.
My friends statuses don't update so I can't tell if they are online or not.
Friend locations don't update.
IPv6 is disabled already.
I get notifications on the VRChat websites but can't even invite myself to instance because guess what? I can't see invites!
Only solution I've found is to restart VRChat which is annoying, especially if you're in a lobby with friends already.

Actually it's much worse that anticipated. In my previous comment I said up to an hour. It seems that it's up to a minute. I tried multiple times and it seems that I get invites and requests only right after I start the game and then within the first minute it breaks.

Over the past few days this has gotten way worse. Within an hour I no longer receive any invites or requests. If I keep vrchat.com/home open in the browser that also stops receiving notifications very quickly.

Can confirm. I've been having this odd issue for over a year. I don't jump into VR often, 1-2 times a week, so it hasn't been up there enough to start looking until recent. As the pinned suggestion said, I already have IPv6 disabled on my computer, and this is still ongoing. I've got some friends who are starting to get annoyed that I ask via other means, than sending an invite. Well, I did, 10 minutes ago, you just clarified you didn't receive it, lol. Yes, many people receive requests, and ignore those, I've already talked with my friends and they are aware if I send three invites, it's not because I'm being a pain, the notification system is borked. Oh, and that 1min on hud timeout, really needs reviewing, I've had a number of people say they didn't see it on their hud, but noticed when they opened their menu.

I have a bit more info on this topic as it has been happening to me for a very long time. I was using Cellular internet, then eventually switched to StarLink. In periods of long packet drop out, afterward is usually when the invite issues begin. This also seems to stop the friends list from updating at the same time while also resulting in a world time out (although the timing out of the instance has improved a lot in more recent clients).
My guess is that when an instance time out occurs, the client isn't reconnecting to the part of VRChat servers that accepts invites or refreshes the friends list.
